AI-Powered Traffic Management System
Abstract: An artificial intelligence (AI)-based traffic management system is an innovative and intelligent project for improving urban traffic control and emergency response using AI and artificial vision. With the rapid increase in vehicle numbers and urban populations, traditional traffic management systems are unable to effectively address all real-time traffic situations due to congestion, fuel consumption, and emergency deceleration. To address these limitations, this project utilizes the YOLOv8 (You Only Look Once, …

Optimizing Tourist Mobility with Dijkstra’s Algorithm: A Review on Pollution Reduction through Smart Path Planning
Abstract: Although Tourism helps the economy, but it can also harm the environment, especially in popular tourist destinations. Optimizing routing is one way to reduce these environmental effects. This review paper examines how the well-known and traditional Dijkstra's method for shortest path computation is used to pollution management and support sustainable tourism. The study explores how intelligent traffic routing can minimize traffic congestion in environmentally sensitive areas and lower fuel consumption …

Propagation of Thrust Due to Movement of Vehicle on Road
Abstract: The rapid growth of high-speed transportation systems has necessitated a detailed assessment of the structural effects induced by moving heavy vehicles. This study investigates the lateral thrust generated by high-speed vehicular movement and its implications for the design and safety evaluation of transportation infrastructure. A representative vehicle with dimensions of 18 m length, 5 m height, and 4 m width was considered for the analysis. The impact load generated by …

Traffic Density Estimation Using Image Frames in Python
Abstract: Traffic congestion is a critical challenge in modern urban environments, leading to significant delays, environmental pollution, and increased accident rates. With the rapid growth of vehicle populations in metropolitan areas worldwide, the need for intelligent and automated traffic monitoring systems has become increasingly urgent. Traditional monitoring approaches, such as inductive loop detectors and manual surveillance, are limited in scalability, deployment cost, and adaptability to dynamic traffic scenarios. This paper presents …
